Warhammer Inquisitor

Vito walked into a building that looked like a Fenris tribal hall. Well, this is not accurate after all, this is inside a battleship and not really on the ground, but it is indeed very unique.

The entire interior structure is completely modeled on the one-to-one structure of the Fenris tribe hall. Every Fenris tribe has such a place. You know, it is the same as the Viking activity hall on the earth. Braziers with meat hooks poked from them, grills and log beams, support posts and pebble walls.

Cozy rugs were laid away from the flames, and long tables and chairs stood around where the warriors of Fenris would drink and brag, feasting on their spoils and telling tales of old through the long winter nights. Ballads and legends.

Most of all the Fenrisian children grew up in this kind of place. On the long winter nights, it is the most warm and comfortable place. They will listen to the old patriarch or The Elders tell tales, telling tales of countless Fenrisian heroes, or mighty creatures of fable.

But the most intriguing one is the legend of the celestial warriors, those celestial warriors who live on the peak of Langya Fort, it is said that they will ride the longship flying in the sky to fight among the stars, die in glory and step into the world. Hall of Valor of the legendary all-knowing father.

Many Fenrisian children grew up listening to this story, and they would fall asleep listening to the legends of the Celestial Warriors on winter nights, and some of them would eventually stand in the ranks of the Celestial Warriors.

Around the warm brazier gathered many Space Wolves warriors, seated on benches or gathered in small groups, talking to each other in Fenrisian, while mortal warriors in Cadian uniform spoke to each other. Together again, they talked by the brazier.

But soon all the loose guests were attracted by the voice of wolf lord Sven Bloodhowl. The tall wolf lord hit the ground with the end of his power battle axe. direction.

Vito and the four Deathwatch fighters walked into the hall, and they stood together with Sven in front of the brazier at the back. The wolf master looked around with a huge power battle ax, "Attention! You wolf cubs, for the recruits among you Let me introduce you, Danzi! This is Vito Constantine, an honorary friend of our battle group, some of you may have heard of his legend, but I'm sure you idiots have definitely missed a lot of things!"

Sven's bragging made Vito a little embarrassed. Although he was thick-skinned, the eyes that some Astartes cast with longing, and even admiration, seemed very fresh.

"These four are Vito's entourage, you all know him, our respected Olaf Rune Priest! The glorious psionic archmage of our battle group!" Sven pressed Olaf's shoulders unceremoniously, and said to The people around shouted, and there was a burst of echo among the space wolf fighters.

Olaf smiled and nodded to his brothers, "It's an honor to meet my brothers here again, and we will be honored in the name of the whole father."

"And this is our lively wolf cub Ragnar! Aha! I think many of you know him!" Swain put his arms around Ragnar's neck, and he raised his battle ax and roared loudly, Ragnar Na also happily raised his fist, and soon there was a burst of wolf howling and happy laughter in the hall.

It seemed that Ragnar was well-known in his Chapter, especially among the young fighters.

"These two are honorable knights of the Dark Angels, and learned wise men of the Ultramarines Chapter of Macragge, and you bastards have a lot to learn from them!"

Swain's bold and exaggerated introduction made Lancelot and Bell bow their heads humbly. They saluted the Space Wolves who shouted throughout the hall, but Swain still laughed and seemed to be in a good mood. Pretty good.

"Judge, let me introduce you." Sven pointed to the soldier wearing a Cadia uniform on the side of the brazier, "This is the leader of the 13th Regiment of Cadia, the brave Mars New Colonel K!"

Colonel Mars stood at attention and saluted the judge. He had a long scar on his face, and it didn't look like it was newly added. The colonel and the officers behind him all saluted Vito with a standard military salute. Standard again.

"My lord judge, it's an honor to meet you." "I'm also a colonel. Nice to meet you."

Vito also returned a not-so-standard military salute, but the colonel obviously didn't mind, and Sven continued to introduce it in his bold way. He raised his tomahawk and pointed at the weapon without hostility, and the other side was farther away. The Marshal of the Mechanicus Patriarchs, his appearance does not seem to be the traditional, common image of a Mechanicist priest.

The Marshal of the Skitarii looks more like a warrior, or a Skitarii. Under his red robe is a powerful steel structure, a steel structure made purely for war. Powerful weapons, with these two or three mechanical arms equipped with devastating weapons behind them.

His face was completely covered by machinery, and the gear structure on the top of his head also imitated the battle helmet of a centurion. He watched Vito's eyes constantly click and rotate, and the light of the flame illuminated his entire front body, making this steel terminator Even more terrifying.

"Marshal of the Skitarii of Agrippina, what is it? Ah" "Delta, my lord."

The Marshal of the Skitarii said mechanically, but his voice sounded like a tough guy in the Mechanicus, and his voice sounded like steel. The sonorous and powerful voice will not make you suspect that he is a useless gear boy. If you doubt, Then your face will probably be pierced by a phosphorous fire weapon.

The Marshal of the Skitarii turned his mechanical head, and his red mechanical prosthetic eyes clicked and looked at the judge in front of him. He seemed to have conducted a brief scan and analysis, but Vito didn't think it was disrespectful For example, this can be regarded as "etiquette" in this group of iron-skinned strange world.

"I am the Forge World of Agrippina serving the Om Messiah, Marshal Delta-G038 of the Skitarii under the command of the Great Sage, and I am ordered to walk with the Angels of Death and unleash the wrath of the Om Messiah."

Vito looked at the Skitarii Marshal and nodded slightly, and the latter also responded. The steel legs of the Skitarii Marshal stepped on the ground with a bang, and there were several Skitarii soldiers standing behind the Marshal. They all held their finely crafted weapons in silence like machine servants on standby.

"He's just as weird as most members of Mechanicus." Sven whispered close to Vito, and the judge smiled and nodded slightly.

"Then what's our problem? Grand Marshal, what mission made you leave the forge world and come here, I believe that Agrippina's current situation is not very good." Vito looked at Delta with one hand behind his back asked, knowing that too much rhetoric for the Mechanicum was beyond question.

Anyway, they can only recognize and read the key content in the end, and they can't even read the rest of the gorgeous rhetoric.

"Indeed, Chaos tried to launch an attack on the Forge World, but the Great Sage thinks that there is a more urgent mission that needs to be completed by us." More like a machine than a person.

"It's about the safety of Cadia." As he said, he turned his head to Colonel Mars, and the Marshal of the Skitarii raised his pure mechanical arm to signal Colonel Mars, "I believe Colonel Mars, I can give you a reasonable explain."

Mars nodded affirmatively, and then looked at Sven requestingly, "My lord, with your permission."

"Of course, Colonel, you are better at briefings than I am!" Sven chuckled, Mars nodded gratefully and then raised his hand and waved a holographic planet above the brazier, and the green fluorescent light instantly suppressed it What remained was the burning fire, orange-red mixed with neon-green light.

The faces of Vito and the four death angels were illuminated by a strange light, and they looked at the holographic planet in front of them together, and they knew that this planet was Cadia without the colonel introducing a few people.

There is no second planet in this galaxy that is covered with pure fortifications on the surface. The hives here are giant bastions, with towering walls and large insane orbital guns pointing directly into the sky, projecting destructive storms to the sky.

In addition, there are literally tunnels all over the continent, bunker groups and heavy weapon arrays, military camps and firepower points like gravel are densely distributed on the continent from north to south, the whole planet is a fortress, so yes, It's definitely Cadia here.

But it seems that the situation on this planet is not very good now, I mean, yes, I know that Cadia is not in a good time, after all, here is the eye of fear, looking up is the entrance of the Chaos Realm, and looking down is not a mutant It's the Chaos Demons running around.

Kill a mutant before breakfast, kill a traitor before lunch, have a "friendly exchange" with demons in the afternoon, kill a mutant or something in the evening, and maybe have a "night visit" by the traitor space fighters in the evening

But even by Cadia's standards, the current situation can be described as fucked up.

"The emperor's holy ribs are here, Colonel, this situation can't be described as bad." Vito said looking at the hologram, Colonel Mars nodded affirmatively and pointed to the orbit of the planet, "The Chaos Fleet controls the orbit of the planet , The Imperial Navy has fought against Chaos many times in the entire star field before this, and it has long been unable to defend the orbit."

"Yes, we know, we saw a large number of hulks and battlefields on the way here." Ragnar said, he frowned slightly and looked at the hologram, "But the situation is too fucking, Cadia's orbital defense system What? Why no response?"

Mars frowned and nodded anxiously, "That's right. The orbital defense system went down for some reason and couldn't be started at all. The Mechanicus initially believed that it was caused by the mutiny of the Eighth Regiment. They betrayed us and the Emperor in the capital of the planet, killing us." The death of the entire command layer is also likely to destroy the master control system."

As he said that, a red dot appeared on the map. It was the planetary capital of Cadia, at least it used to be, and now that place has become a battlefield where ghosts, ghosts, and snakes fight.

Then, following the colonel's hand, a portrait appeared on the screen. It was the head of the rebel army, but judging by the image that had turned red, the traitor had already been killed, the Emperor bless.

And the image of the loyalist who killed the traitor also appeared on the other side. It was a man with a resolute face, and his name was also marked below.

"Great Castle Lord Creed led the sixth regiment of Cadia to destroy them and reorganized all the armed forces present on the planet. However, when Chaos began to attack, the absence of the orbital system caused Chaos to land on the surface of the planet on a large scale. Currently The situation is critical."

The colonel pointed to the battle line across the continental plate on the hologram, "Chaos traitors and demons are following the traitorous space fighters and are advancing along the central axis of the continent to the current wartime headquarters. Lord Creed and the others have arrived and provided support The Grand Marshal of the Black Templars, Marshal Amalric, is doing all he can to stop them."

"The traitors had complete control of the air, and we were forced to give up a lot of places under orbital bombing and air suppression. The situation barely stabilized before we left."

"Blessed by the whole father, the judge, the black temple arrived on the battlefield in time, their war fleet defeated the chaos fleet in the western hemisphere of the planet to ensure safety, and then completed a large-scale landing deployment, a thousand space fighters, a whole battle group The deployment has been completed." Swain's tone was full of appreciation, of course, it is well known that the Black Templar has seriously violated the Holy Code.

But as a faction that also regards the Temple as a fart and continues to maintain the formation of the Dalian and Superman Chapters, I think the Space Wolves probably appreciate the plans of the Black Templars.

"Why do you leave in such a dangerous situation? The Fang of Firemane is currently one of the few battleships in Cadia's orbit with strong firepower and assault capabilities, but you drove it here? With a whole Dalian .”

Sven snorted and raised his fingers slightly, "Do you think we came here because we were afraid?" "No, Sven, I think you guys are going to do something big, but I don't know what it is yet."

"Then you can know now." Sven Bloodhowl snapped his fingers while speaking, the holographic image immediately began to flicker and change, and in the blink of an eye, a huge creation appeared in front of everyone, one with a terrifying giant cannon man-made buildings.

Vito stared at the thing with a frown, and he turned to look at Sven, who also gave a positive nod.

"Blackstone Fortress. Did you find the Blackstone Fortress near here?" Vito asked silently, the Marshal of the Skitarii nodded mechanically, his mechanical eyes spun a full circle counterclockwise, "Correct, on Cadia Star During a naval battle in the area, the Imperial Navy fleet discovered the Blackstone Fortress, and although the Imperial Navy was almost wiped out to cover up the secret, one destroyer still managed to escape from the scene."

"Master Eternal Will, one of the Blackstone Fortresses stolen by Abaddon." Colonel Mars added.

Delta said mechanically, "The ship's reactor leaked, most of the crew on the ship had died of radiation when they arrived, and the rest of them would die in a short time, but they brought the important alarm back to the Cadia."

"May the All-Father bless their souls and bring the souls of the warriors to the Hall of Valor." Swain said with his head bowed, his tone full of respect and regret for the mortal warriors, and the surrounding Space Wolves bowed their heads in silence .

Vito heaved a long sigh, but returned to the topic despite regret, "The appearance of the Blackstone Fortress in the Cadia Starfield only means one thing."

"Abadon decides to destroy Cadia with warp cannons."

As soon as the words came out of the hall, the hall fell silent instantly, and the soldiers looked at each other. Although everyone knew this fact for a long time, it still caused quite a shock when someone said it.

Swain nodded affirmatively, "That's right, Abaddon used Planet Killer in the Gothic War to destroy a world, and Blackstone Fortress has proved its strength in the same war, something we have never known before. Powerful."

Yes, Vito knew what that meant, he was there.

He had witnessed the noblest sacrifices, the bravery of the Imperial Navy, the final victory of the Emperor's Light, but at the same time he had witnessed the cannons of Blackrock Fortress overloading the stars of the star system and nearly turning them into nothingness. A scene where a supernova destroys an entire galaxy.

Humans never knew the power of the Blackstone Fortress before, but they knew it then, and to make matters worse Abaddon took two Blackstone Fortresses, one of which is now in Cadia.

He would use this power, Vito knew, he would.

Vito looked at the Blackstone Fortress and fell silent, then turned to look at Sven, "What is the plan?"

"Attack Blackstone Fortress, land on it to overload its reactor, blow up or disable the propeller." Swain finished the suicide mission in a very short time and in just a few sentences.

That's right, the suicide mission, the absolute suicide mission.

Vito was silent for a moment, and then looked around at the surrounding space fighters. They all gathered together and looked at Vito with resolute eyes. They all knew that this was a suicide attack with no return. Even if there was hope to break through and evacuate, There will not be many people standing here again.

Most of them would have died in the attack without even seeing the reactor, yet they were so conniving, accepting their eventual fate with generosity and determination.

Vito let out a long sigh, then glanced at Sven, "How many people will participate in the offensive mission?" "My entire Dalian has two hundred Space Wolves, the Cadia Thirteenth Regiment, and a full brigade of the Skitarii "" "You will never return." "I know."

Sven spoke calmly, so calmly that people were surprised, but there was no trace of panic or hesitation on his face. He calmly told the place where he died and the place where he fought for the last time.

Vito looked at the soldiers around him, they were all the same, as the Emperor's angel of death, they knew and accepted their fate long ago.

"We will drive the Fang of the Firemane to ambush in the asteroid belt, wait until the Blackstone Fortress passes by and rush up, complete the springboard landing at one time, and then complete the mission before the entire army is wiped out." Swain said.

"We will prevent Blackstone Fortress from reaching Cadia! Prevent those bastards from blowing up our proud fortress world!" Sven roared, and the surrounding soldiers raised their arms and roared like a group of Assembled wolves.

Sven led his pack of wolves to howl, and then calmly lowered his head to look at Vito, "This is a mission that must die, Vito, you can leave, no one will blame you."

"Inquisitor, I must remind you that we still have tasks that must be completed. We will gladly die for the Emperor but not here!" Bell stepped forward and whispered in Vito's ear. The Inquisitor saw He glanced at Bell, and then at Sven who was standing aside.

Ragnar and Olaf stood behind Vito, and they all quietly waited for Vito's order. This time, he must make the decision, and he can only make the decision.

Everyone was waiting for him to make a decision, but he remained silent.

Lancelot looked at Vito, and then he noticed the Inquisitor looking at the brazier, at the charcoal and fire burning in it.

Vito looked at the raging fire in front of him, and there seemed to be a figure in the flame, a figure with flowing long hair.

A figure he was familiar with, the figure of an old jerk.
